Nintendo switch had 527 games released this year
I’m sure there are other factors (like quality of the games, platform exclusivity, etc), but switch is still doing pretty good for an 8 year old console that’s too weak to run new multi-plat games.
There were too few submissions for the Best Nintendo Switch category this year. The award committee, therefore, decided to cancel the category.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I would assume they’re taking about platform exclusives. I bet Nintendo is the only company making games just for Nintendo platforms. Any other company making games for the Switch has a strong inventive to port their game to other, more powerful platforms.
I’ll add that according to that site:
- switch has 11,439 total games
- xbox series has 3,285 total games
- PS5 has 2,699 total games
That’s fine. Nintendo would probably sue them for copyright something or other anyway. Like they do to everyone everywhere.
What does that even mean…? Sue them for an award?
They sued people for competing in a competitive game they made, so they’re not above it.
Is this true? What’s the story here?
Super Smash Bros. has a long history of contention with Nintendo.
Enough for something to actually end up in court? Because that’s pretty specific
Nintendo shuts down Smash World Tour ‘without any warning’
Said tournament was going to have the largest ever prize pool of $250,000.
Given the company’s aggressive copyright enforcement, this isn’t the first time that Nintendo has forced grassroots competitions using its games to stop operating, having similarly shut down a Super Smash Bros. tournament in 2020. Nintendo also notably ordered Evo — the world’s largest fighting game tournament — to shut down a planned Melee event in 2013 before reversing the decision.
The Smash World Tour said it will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result of the shutdown but reassures all attendees of the canceled events that they will be issued full refunds.
Not a lawsuit, but I agree that’s pretty nasty
More like waving around legal orders against people who comply because they can’t afford to challenge them in court. For this and other reasons, fuck Nintendo.
I know but the joke doesn’t make sense in that context. They would not be using their property; they would recognize them for it.

I would be unsurprised if Nintendo tried to sue a Patent Office for looking at Nintendos name on their own damn patent submission.
At this point they’d probably sue their employees for uttering character names outside of work.
It doesn’t need to make sense. It just needs to paint companies in a bad light.
I mean whatever, if you hate Nintendo that’s one thing but the joke is such a stretch, lol
It’s not a matter of whether you hate them or not
You seem to have misunderstood what I said. I was being sarcastic, taking the role of the person making the joke.
